Hardiscs now go up to Terrabytes. That’s a lot of space! While it’s a boon because now you can save every dirty photo downloaded, you must now have to manage tons of data. Fail at that and finding what you need can be testy. Imagine having to look for Mandy’s pic at the height of your need? And you can’t? You must prune that disc and keep it tidy. That’s where WinDirStat comes in.

So, have  you ever catalogued a folder by file size, praying to track down a data hog, only to be vexed by the fact that Windows 7 doesn’t let you see the size of nested folders’ contents? Right. So have we, and that’s why we make sure that we’ve always got WinDirStat on standby.

WinDirStat, short for Windows Directory Statistics, is an application which analyzes the composition of your hard drive, empowering you to discern which files are gobbling up your disk space. It presents this information in a size-ordered directory view, or as a colorful treemap, making it a piece of cake to see exactly what is using up your hard drive space. Once you’ve figured out which files are taking up more than their fair share of your drive, you can get rid of them with WinDirStat’s built-in cleanup operations.

Prune your hardisc with Windirstat and the next time you need Mandy’s or Mariah’s pic, you’ll never be lost again.
